Converged, Combinedand Recommitted
Healthcare Technology Management was a publication created to provide practical ideas and solutions regarding the management, procurement, service and support of healthcare technology. The magazine is today reborn as a section of Clinical Innovation + Technology—you're looking at it—and our commitment to the development of the healthcare technology manager remains as strong as ever.
With all the interdepartmental convergence and collaboration occurring in today's healthcare settings, we decided to direct our content at all players and stakeholders. From directors of clinical engineering to CTOs, from administrators of clinical departments to VPs and directors of technology and medical informatics, the technology management circle is wide and expanding and certainly overlapping. Healthcare reform is sure to accelerate this tech-centric amassing.
Meanwhile, the trending convergence of IT and healthcare technology management as disciplines and departments—speeding through large academic medical institutions and gaining steam in smaller community systems—made HTM a natural fit in the development of Clinical Innovation + Technology.
This inaugural section tips you off to the kinds of stories we'll present in this space. Integrating medical devices with the EMR. Mining computerized maintenance management systems for operational intel. Looking to the cloud for disaster preparedness. On deck for next month: Alarm management, technology acquisition and managing home-health equipment.
We hope you'll continue to find our content useful, if not indispensable. If you have a minute, feel free to drop us a line to let us know how we're doing.
Cheers,
